🧠🤔Let’s clear up some myths about ABA!

❌ Myth: ‘My child will just sit at a table all day’

✅ Fact: SET focuses on providing a natural environment, NOT just sitting at a table. A client's day will have group activities, movement activities, crafts, structured play, and more! We make sure to provide several opportunities to use their peer interaction and communication skills.
